Where Is Edward Snowden Right Now?

Where In The World Is Edward Snowden? -- The Atlantic

Edward Snowden is the most sought-after leaker of national security secrets in the world right now — maybe ever — except that, well, it appears that nobody has any idea where on earth he actually is. The 29-year-old former Booz Allen defense contractor working with the National Security Agency, reportedly in Hong Kong and trying to get out, has gone AWOL, and the chase is on, for sleuths both real and amateur.

Snowden was in a hotel in Hong Kong when The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald last spoke with him, on June 6, even though his tell-all video interview went online Sunday. He was holed up in his room ordering room service, rarely leaving in case secret agents were waiting for him on the other side. The hotel was allegedly "just up the road" from the U.S. consulate on Hong Kong's main island — which just so happens to have a CIA station.
